The Castle Inn, Christmas Day 2008
This is the last instalment of the development at the Castle Inn, the only pub in Eaton, once threatened with closure and redevelopment as a residential property. Both these new houses, built on part of the land to the side of the pub, are now occupied although it has taken a whole 22 months for the left hand one to be completed. Compare with SK7929 : Castle Inn, Vicarage Lane, Eaton, Leicestershire and SK7929 : Christmas Drinks at the Castle Inn! taken on Christmas Day 2005 before there was any inkling of what was to happen here; SK7929 : Castle Inn, Eaton, Leicestershire, in the Spring 2007 not long after work began and on Christmas Day of the same year, SK7929 : Castle Inn, Eaton and SK7929 : The Castle Inn, Eaton. One benefit of this development was the condition placed on the planning consent that the pub should provide a replacement for the village shop that closed in the Summer of 2005.
